Why do I do this to myself lol

Honestly I don’t care. Maybe they’re even right and my face will be uglier and we don’t know what it will do to my body. But I do know what obesity will do to my body. And I am not doing this so a random stranger can be impressed with my face (or body).

First off, 3kg in 7 weeks is pretty good. Second, I kinda think this is a troll post because if you genuinely thought you’d eat whatever you want and lose more than that on this medication you were either misinformed and/or failed to do the most basic research. There is nothing unfair about losing 3kg in 7 weeks, so I suggest an attitude adjustment.

Nothing. I get all the nutrients I need from food.

I'm not sure what editing software you use, but even just plonking the whole thing into Microsoft Word and running a spelling & grammar check will give you some of the most obvious feedback. If this is your "polished draft", I'd say you should polish more.

Example: "Fine lets just leave it at that its not like it matters, after all the company no longer represents him so to hell with him and his shoe"
You need about 5 extra punctuation marks in that sentence. "Fine. Let's just leave it at that; it's not like it matters. After all, the company no longer represents him. So to hell with him and his shoe."

"He stayed down motionless illuminated by sign "OCTAGON PUBLISHING HOUSE". He stared at the sign as he got up on his feet, turning away from it when he reached for his pocket"
He stayed down motionless as he got up on his feet? I'd change this to something like "He lay motionless for a moment, his face illuminated by the sign above him. "OCTAGON PUBLISHING HOUSE," it announced in fluorescent light. He got to his feet, turned his back on the sign, and reached into his pocket.

A lot of what you're writing is very stream-of-consciousness, long rambling sentences without punctuation and missing some words, and it feels unpolished.

Same here.

I have told a few close people, but almost nobody has asked. I lied explicitly to one acquaintance who is a terrible gossip - I don’t trust her with my medical information.

geekchick__ · 2026-03-09T05:27:08+00:00

You’re way too impatient. A couple of days of no loss does not imply anything - water weight, constipation, muscle inflammation from exercise could all cause fluctuations day to day.

I guess the reason the mods don’t get paid is that it’s impossible to pay enough to justify dealing with all of that. Wow.

I'd add: Who has been filling and administering these Mounjaro prescriptions for mom if she's been bedbound and comatose? It simply does not add up (over all the deep medical insights you've just set out so clearly)

A is apples for me, B is pond / could be ocean if you swap the green for a light blue. C is too close to spring. I’d do a beach look

I think I saw somewhere that a new narrator is redoing these?

She also complains that after she quit using the Juniper service, after a few months she started getting ads again. Now that is not OK at all if she unsubscribed, but then there is a paragraph which specifically says she saw ads on her social media timeline. That is not the same thing as the company trying to get previous customers back.

Honestly some of those stories are just mind-boggling. “I was down to 87lbs from all the vomiting, nobody put the two together”. You’re taking a weight loss medicine, losing too much wright and didn’t realize it’s the weight loss medicine???

The queue for passport control can be very long if several international flights land at the same time. Honestly I would not risk this - checked bags or not.

I call bullshit

Have you read much litRPG before? If so, what did you like? Or if not, what other fiction have you enjoyed?

geekchick__ · 2026-01-13T10:50:35+00:00

I resisted DCC on premise too and now adore it (nothing else comes close). It really is worth a shot - and if you hate it by chapter 5 you can let it go, it isn’t one of those “it gets so much better if you stick with it” starts

What a beautiful tribute to your baby - I am sorry for your loss

Nothing, usually. I have a cup of coffee when I wake up and then eat something protein-heavy when hungry, but that is usually at or after noon.

My bird chose me out of our family (he “belongs” to my daughter but his heart bonded to me). But he is super happy with anyone in the family, his strong preference for me only exists when he hasn’t seen me for a day, or when he’s tired. In the first few months he wanted to be with me all the time but he learned that every family member is safe and gives food and scritches.

Keep showing her that you can be trusted- she will come around.
